Be Thoughtful the Easy Way! 



Give STAR ROSES for Christmas! 



Here is the easiest, most convenient, most thought- 

 ful way I know of to give to gardening friends at 

 Christmastime! And when you give Star Roses, 

 your gift is appreciated and you are remembered — 

 not once hut three times . . . first when we send our 

 announcement of your gift at Christmastime; 

 second, when the recipient receives the roses in 

 spring; and third, when the roses bloom in June! 

 Just choose the roses or collection of roses that you 

 wish to send. As a token of your gift, we will send 

 in time for Christmas A REAL, LIVING ROSE- 

 BUD in a vial of water like the one pictured at 

 right; and with it a Christinas card announcement 

 from you informing the recipient that in 

 the spring at just the right time for plant- 

 ing he will receive the roses you ordered 

 for him. The rosebud and card are sent 

 for Christmas; the plants are sent later. 

 Rosebuds cannot be sent with orders which 

 are not Christinas gifts. Choose right now from 

 the wonderful roses in this catalog, and send 

 us your orders. Use the convenient order blank 

 provided. We'll do the rest at the right time. 

 We must have your orders before December 10 if 

 we are to send a rosebud token gift. If you should 

 not wish to choose the roses yourself, you can 

 order Gift Certificates like the one pictured 

 below, and we will send your friends our spring 

 catalog to choose from, together with the 

 Certificate. 



NOTE: All group offer and" 3 for" prices apply 

 ONL Y when those roses are shipped together to 

 the same address.

GIFT CERTIFICATES MAKE GIVING EASY 



Many of our customers buy and give these Gift 

 Certificates because they solve gift-giving problems 

 so easily, so conveniently and so appropriately. 

 All of the people who receive them are happy be- 

 cause Gift Certificates enable them to buy exactly 

 what they want. If you like, we will gladly send 

 the Gift Certificate direct to the recipient, or you 

 can send it yourself. But — we do need to know the 

 name of the recipient so that we can fill in the 

 Certificate. We will, of course, send our latest 

 catalog direct to the recipient so that he can choose 

 what he wants. Although most Gift Certificates are 

 purchased for gift-giving at Christmastime, many 

 are used throughout the year whenever the occasion 

 calls for a gift.
